Understanding the basics of skin Aging

The skin’s natural rejuvenation process slows drastically with age and the skin becomes thinner, drier, and less elastic (Ramos-E-Silva et al 2001). This leads the organism towards premature aging and death, which in turn shall depend on its repair systems. Aging represents a biological attrition at the cellular level. In addition to that, skin aging is influenced by several factors including genetics, environmental exposure (UV radiation, xenobiotics, and mechanical stress), hormonal changes and metabolic processes (generation of reactive chemical compounds such as activated oxygen species, sugars and aldehydes). All factors together act on the alterations of skin structure, function, and appearance. Yet solar UV radiation unquestionably is the single major factor responsible for skin aging (Rittié and Fisher 2002).
